@thespeakerdude I realize this but does it make sense to mix at one position and listen at another? Just thought that was an interesting thought, makes me think that so many things we do in sound has a coating of silly mythology in it.

@thespeakerdude Great info on the P20s really appreciate it. Also the JL Audio 113 speaker buzz happens with no audio inputs at all. Thanks

@kota1 I did connect the Lyngdorf into the Genelec / ProTools system it was just fine I needed it in that system to use Room Perfect because the speaker positions were always a compromise if I looked at it as a stereo system but not from an object...

@invalid I suspected the same thing that the BHK was inconsistent somehow. I've changed cables AC and audio, changed AC circuits and the noise of the BHK has been the worst in the system, except for my JL Audio subs, which is another story. I repl...

@kota1  The @thespeakerdude clearly works for a speaker company that doesn't allow social media so he's being careful not to give his credits. That's certainly understandable I'm very glad to learn from his experience as well as yours. Thank you b...

@thespeakerdude All my components are balanced, but the subs have an AC hum my system runs off of 2x circuits both plugged into PS Audio P20 Power regenerators they send the power to DC then back to AC, seems good in theory. I've tried lifting gro...

@kota1 I've got the worlds most analytical headphone setup, the Focal Stella closed headphones and a Naim Unity HP headphone amp, both components are razor sharp and not very fun to listen to, accurate ya probably very much, I got that for working...

@Kota1 Lots of great points one very striking one that goes right along with the OP is speaker cables. If they are a component and worth the price many people are willing to pay then eliminate them and go with active speakers. Many people who have...

@kota1 My notes of several of the curves we have to deal with to get a coherent signal in our listening rooms is exactly on topic. @lonemountain said it perfectly "Active is not about where the amplifier is, it’s about where the crossover is." Abs...

@snapoli2 if you do get the Genelecs absolutely positively only get "the ones" doesn't matter what model you get they are all very good. Genelec took a huge step forward with these , you won't go wrong.

Maybe someone out there has a fix for this. Another very frustrating part of the journey for me. Crossovers and hi/low pass filters are the most misunderstood part of the audio signal. My home theater looks at the subs and just 2 speakers in a ste...

@invalid I'm no expert on tubes but it seems like your right. The tubes on my BHK preamp have been changed a few times a year plus I've bitten on the scam for super turbo wonderful tubes that of course cost more, those tubes did seem to actually c...

@thespeakerdude @kota1  Thank you guys I admire both of you, you come at the problems from different perspectives.  My BHK 300 amps have tube input stages and Mofset outputs that's the way it should be tube output stages is the weakest part of t...

Ok @thespeakerfude @kota1 I have a test for you both. You have seen my home system (Not the mixing system) and I have a chance to give it a $200k upgrade, I love the high and mid that Im getting from my main 9hs I love the bass I'm getting form my...

@kota1 I think I have 2 of these units to run my surround sound Paradigm Bs and 2x channels on my Paradigm CC. Paradigm and Anthem are the perfect example of a company that should really make speakers and amps and crossovers made for each other. I...
